You had me worried, and thinking 'which money tree do these muppets think the £45Bn is going to come from', until I read the press release and saw that the figure was £4.5Bn over 5 years. Which given the parlous state of the UK economy is still not going to happen.

Hot off the press this morning:
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cycling-and-walking-boom-with-45-billion-for-thousands-of-new-routes-and-safer-crossings
Not sure how long it will survive. If departmental budgets have to be cut to fund defence, my bet is it will be cycling, walking and trains that will get the chop not cars. How much will the HS2 for cars cost (new Thames tunnel)?
Hope I am wrong.
